To this end, I provide a vertically elongated hollow rectangular casehaving means at the upper end detachably engaging a belt around thewaist of the user. The case has a vertical zipper in one major surfaceproviding access into the case interior and may in addition be open atthis upper end. The case is adapted to detachably receive a folded pairof eye glasses such as sun glasses. A structure secured to the other andopposite major surface includes two parallel vertical pockets open attop and bottom ends and detachably receiving pens, pencils or the like.

The user can thus carry these various items in the manner and for thepurpose previously indicated.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of myinvention as ready for use;

FIG. 2 is an enlarged front view of my invention;

FIG. 3 is a view taken along line 3-3 in FIG. 2;

FIG. 4 is a rear view of my invention; and

FIG. 5 is an enlarged detail side view of my invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to FIGS. 15,a flexible hollow vertically elongated rectangular case has a loop 12detachably engagable with a belt 14 worn about the waist of a wearer.The belt is secured to the upper end of the case.

The case has an opening 16 at its upper end and has an inner chamberadapted to detachably receive folded eye glasses 18. A zipper 20vertically disposed along a vertical center line on one major surface 22also provides access to the interior. The opposite major surface 24contains two parallel vertical slots 26.

A structure 28 is provided with two horizontally separated outervertically elongated pockets 30 and 32 open at top and bottom ends. Thestructure has opposite vertical edges which extend through slots 26 andwhile remaining vertical are bent at right angles as shown at 34 to holdthe structure in place.

The pockets can receive removable pens 26, pencils 28 and the like.

While I have described my invention with particular reference to thedrawings, such is not to be considered as limiting its actual scope.

Having thus described this invention, what is asserted as new is:

l. A device for carrying eye glasses and writing implements comprising:

a vertically elongated hollow rectangular case open at its top end, saidcase having first and second opposite major surfaces with a verticallyelongated zipper in the first surface to provide access to the interiorof the case, the second major surface having two parallel vertical slotsspaced inwardly from its outer edges, the case being adapted toremovably receive a folded pair of eye glasses;

means at the upper end of the case adapted to be detachably secured tothe waist belt of a user whereby the case can hang downward therefrom,said means including a belt engaging hook; and

a pair of adjacent but horizontally spaced vertically elongated U shapedelements formed from a unitary structure which when attached to saidsecond major surface forms pockets which are closed except for open topand bottom ends, the structure having opposite vertically extendingedges which extend through said slots, and then at right angles theretoand parallel to the inside surface of said second major surface to holdthe structure in place, the pockets being located on the outside of thesecond major surface of the case and being adapted to removably receivepens, pencils or other writing
